I heard a comment today that I had not thought about. Apparently Google has been selling this data for years. The ISPs wanted to have the same rights. Of course, prohibiting Google from selling this information never crossed their minds.

I created a simple non-legally binding pledge that small ISPs and WISPS can sign up that I feel will demonstrate one of the clear differentiators between us and larger ISPs who seek to commodify every aspect of their customer's usage. Check it out at http://privacypledge.us/ I'm open to comments or revisions, as my goal is not to own this, but to try to get some visibility for our industry and its unique respect for the end user.
